[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1576646, member: 14668"] Nuclear weapons don't detonate by "accident." They are highly complex devices that require a precisely timed implosion in order to achieve fission. The crude, gun-type Uranium 235 fission weapon that we dropped on Hiroshima was only about 2% effective in terms of yield, and it consumed all the Uranium 235 that existed on earth at the time. Turning Iran into a "parking lot" would require a significant number of complicated, high yield implosion-type Plutonium 239 weapons, or else thermonuclear fusion weapons. Nuclear "accidents" result in radiation leaks, or reactor meltdowns like the one at Chernobyl. They don't result in detonations. [/QUOTE]
